West Virginia Temporary Kitchen Lease & Recovery Guide: Charleston

Locate the facility in Charleston

Use the full city and state when arranging a project discussion. The Census geographic reference for this guide is Charleston city, WV. It distinguishes this place from similarly named towns and is the basis of the general map and nearby-place list below. The reference represents a place, not a Water Damage Kitchen office or an assessment of an individual property.

Nearby geographic references include South Charleston, District 2, Malden, Dunbar, Rand. Check the actual facility address, access, and responsible jurisdiction when coordinating specialists. A geographic boundary or representative map point does not establish the condition of the kitchen or who can authorize its return to use.

West Virginia food-service reference points

The FDA state directory lists Department of Health & Human Resources Public Health Sanitation Division; Department of Agriculture among the food-service resources for West Virginia. Use the directory and the relevant program's information to confirm which authority handles your type of facility. A state resource list is a starting point for that inquiry, not an approval for a proposed operating arrangement.

Keep correspondence about the Charleston facility with the project record. If food service moves to another space during repairs, discuss that arrangement separately from the review of the water-affected kitchen. Ask which information the responsible authority needs and who on the operating team will provide it.

Planning context: healthcare food service

A healthcare kitchen may need to coordinate meal preparation with dietary requirements and scheduled service to more than one part of a facility. The recovery brief should identify the preparation, washing, storage, and dispatch activities that depend on the affected room. Include the operator responsible for the meal service in discussions about any alternative arrangement.

• Which meal-production activities depend on the affected room?
• Who coordinates dietary-service requirements and any alternative preparation space?
• How will equipment findings and the building handover reach the food-service manager?

Preparing a temporary kitchen lease brief

A temporary kitchen lease needs an operating brief as well as a period of use. List preparation, washing, storage, and staff access needs; ask the provider to explain the equipment and site requirements. Confirm charges and arrangements for extending or changing the agreement with that provider.
